there's a smartwool collab that looks completely made of wool, not sure if based on 3 or 4...do u have any info on that? (it's also very colorful, like dark purple with some nice accents)

waiting for the Olympus 6 (the Timps are too narrow)

I love the way Altras feel but I hate how quickly they break down. I feel like every pair of Altras I've owned has lasted at best 200 miles. Has the quality control gotten better recently or is it still the same?

As much as i dig em for comfortability, durability with Altra been issues for years, consistently terribly BADDDD. Entire shoe easily falls apart after 100-200 miles. They can't even use a proper adhesive that can hold outsole, shiet just came fly out!

Dude ! You cant say that about LP9 and not give me more !!!! 😂

I'm lacing up my Outroad 2's as I watch your video, I wish Altra would apply the same gusset to all their road shoes as well. I like the Timp Hiker but it really holds on to sweat.🦋👣

Please say that spring 2025 version is going to be a Fell Running version for us Brits who have to deal with proper mud 🙏

Love my Timp 5's, had to buy a second pair because I was using them so much!

hey TD Ive been enjoying your vids for a few days now and Im waiting for my first pair of altras via olympus and to finally try low or 0 drop shoes. Why you have avocados growing in the back? Do they grow up well in germany? Do you have a farm? Im a farmer in the tropics and that's why I ask and recognize the seedlings.

for 100 mile race im thinking about new olympus 6 or the montblanc .... what you think about it

Loving the channel, keep up the good work. I’m looking to replace my Escalantes, the original model I think. Any idea how the 4 would compare? I’ve got wide feet and love the room, but concerned Altras seem to be getting slowly narrower. Is this the case for the escalantes?

Loving them, just raced the Pennine 39 miler in them in really wet conditions here in the Uk and I thought they were fantastic on the slippery rocks and drained really fast. Good luck with your next race TD.

Great review! 1 hour faster!! Way to go!!

I love them, except the fact that the carbon plate injured my feet, thanks God for the Timp, the shoe that helped me recover in.a few days the injuires I've had for 6 months, now I.know the MB carbon are not for daily training as I intended, but I.think twice a week would be fine, and not twice in a row. Regarding them getting wet, unfortunately that upper is NOT fast drying, in my opinion the one in the Timp 5 dries much faster, but is also too warm for hot summers,I.still use them in the heat, no.prob but maybe some people cannot.stand it 😂, good stuff there, and am waiting for a true wet conditions running shoe which just might be the Timp 5 low GTX

Does the foot sit deeper in this than in other models from Altra? Which models are deepest?

Perfect video. Thank you!

Can’t wait for the full review of these shoes after you’re done the miles in them.

They look sick ! 🤩

Not just yet, but getting there, .a too narrow toebox, too little volume maybe, too tall sides and the heel cup is not ergonomic, for the rest,.BEST Altra shoe, love it

If you have to choose, the 2.5 or the 4?

The only video about this product which exists. Thanks for that. Otherwise I will never understand, why I see more person than product. But that is a problem of all reviewers.

Whats your current fave Altra road running shoe?

Compared to the 4’s, they run small.

what’s the width in the toe box like

Great video! I do this race next year. I subscribe to your channel. All the best, Hannes

I'm not much for GTX Lows, but that color way is dope🤟. I tried on a pair of Timp 5 and they felt great. Thanx for the video my Running 🏃 Brother 👍

Darn I wanted to say that, awesome ! Can't wait for it

Best of luck with the 50k. Love your reviews and your hair!

🤔12.43 miles isn’t bad. How soft were they? I tried another model from Altra on the elliptical (I’m trying to still do cardio til my plantar fasciitis heals). The Rivera 3 midsole feels kind of hard. It could just be that I wasn’t flexing my foot and didn’t have any impact, but even still, it felt like these shoes don’t have any bounce. They’re lighter than my Pegasus runners, but don’t feel as soft and/or bouncy. I’m hoping to find Altras that feel more like Nike Pegasus, just with the more anatomical design.

Thanks for the review! I currently have escalante 3. Will it be much harder to run in escalate racer? Should I update to racer or escalate 4? I love minimal shoes, but I can't run much in totally barefoot shoes. I usually run in the heart zone 2, 5-10km. Also, maybe altra superior is worth updating to? Thanks 🙏

I had quad tendon ruptured in October 2023, surgery 5 weeks later (weeks of muscle wasting). Stability in that leg is been one of my biggest issues. I also am a nurse, so I shoe shop not for running (yet), but walking and comfort. Due to stability issues in the recovering leg, stability has become a priority instead of just comfort and cushion. Right now, this is my absolute favorite shoe. For me, as a 6'3, 275 male, it feels minimal, yet enough cushion to be comfortable overall. And I can get these in my normal size due to the generous toe box. Overall, they just give me a very natural feeling as I walk. They are my fav shoe, with Torin 7 and Arahi 6 from Hoka in second

What about durability? My concern is that the new external soles look like they won't last long as compared to the earlier versions.

It helps. When I tried them on, I felt they'd be too stiff for my liking and that I'd have to rely on the toe spring to roll forward, which is not what I want. I don't want the shoe to roll; I want it to plant and bend.

Curious to know if the comfort and foot feel is comparable to the Escalante 3, aside from the differences in the upper? Like you, I actually love to wear the 3 as a casual shoe. A bit more plushness and flexibility had it overtake my Lone Peaks as an everyday wear around shoe (though Michigan weather makes the Lone Peak great still on certain days). Wondering if the 4 could still be a casual everyday shoe while maybe serving as a dedicated long walk/light jog shoe.

love it so much i bought two, and the racers.

Agree about escalante 3- I preferred 2.5

The predecessor has disappeared in my size. I don't want the heavy and stiff version 2 - but there is no other shoe on the market that is similar. I'm heartbroken. I should have stocked up but I didn't

It is heavier and stiff which is very noticable to my mind. The v1 was already borderlin heavy. Racing flat should be at around 175g in standard size. The original was 210g, which was tolerable but 249 isn't. Also th ebarefoot feeling is dumbed down. It's less flexible.

purely an aesthetic opinion, but I sure wish they would get rid of that weird toe piece or at least make it wider.

Come to hear about the fit, how its compared with previous interations, as with altra its always a challenge...but missed this most important part😮😢

Waiting for the feedback regarding the Escalante 4 as I need to change my Escalante 3 soon. Your TH-cam channel is a bliss. Thanks a lot TD!!!

I hated the E 3 for soaking up so much water..what about the E 4?

Dam it! Have to order these. 😬
